Description
The Showalter Trust supports biomedical research through gifts from the Ralph W. and Grace M. Showalter Research Trust Fund. Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) has received research funding from the trust since 1975. Listed through Indiana CTSI, the opportunity supports IUSM investigators within a broad medical research scope defined by the benefactors as “the type of medical research that is most likely to permanently benefit mankind.”
Lasting human benefit is central to the trust’s purpose. Proposals undergo a two-stage review involving the IUSM Biomedical Research Committee and the Showalter Trustees, who make the final funding decisions.
